Good morning,
How to be happy is front of mind this week, especially as the days darken and the global mood gets gloomier by the day. Rebecca Reid reports on where the happiest place in London to live is, while Kate Spicer makes a case for bringing back the long lunch – a mid-day joyful feast, according to some longevity experts, could boost our health in all kinds of ways.
Meanwhile, Zoe Beaty talks to parents who are trying to divorce their teenagers from their tech to help boost their wellbeing and Will Gore takes a temperature check on the thermostat wars raging between couples during this unseasonably warm November.
One person who has united the nation this week is Chris Hoy with his plea to the government to rethink the screening programme for prostate cancer. The current "informed choice" system requires men to actively request a PSA test, and relies on men being aware of the symptoms and having a GP willing to take action. As a result, many are being diagnosed far too late – as Sir Chris was. With prostate cancer killing more than 12,000 men a year and too many of them just being prescribed Viagra and being dismissed by their doctors after sharing their symptoms, this needs to change, argues Oliver Kemp.
Finally, if you are one of the many who have been tempted to try the new generation of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, you might be interested in a new study that shows what can happen when you stop taking them.
Until next weekend!
